Great news, can’t wait to see how he does.

Pulled this just yesterday, good timing! I already have a gold /50 auto as well. Been following this guy pretty closely and I guess this nova cards fan will be making the trip up to pittsburgh tomorrow…lol

Quoting myself because they both got called up which is pretty awesome.

The Pirates is the perfect team to break in against. AAAA pitching.

yeah, I don't think it's a coincidence. They'll help calm each other down.

I was upset because I worked all night last night and figured I was going to miss Memphis's game tonight - not going to be much to miss it looks like.

I'm pretty sure this is well before the Update cutoff. I think it is usually a week or two into June.

Nice! PNC park is absolutely beautiful. And you can get a great ticket for a few gorman base chromes.

Ask and ye shall receive.

And I’d argue Brendan Donovan won’t have any trouble hitting that triple slash line.

I think Gorman could definitely use more time in AAA. I think he’ll be a good hitter eventually, but I don’t see him benefiting the cardinals all that much at the moment.

I'm a big fan of Edman. I think he slides over to SS with Gorman at 2b and Donovan at utility.

Also, hopefully his defense wouldn't be as bad as Uggla's was.

Two things held Uggla's hobby status down;

1) Miami
2) He didn't start until he was 26.

Imagine Uggla's exact career from 26-32 but instead it's from 22-28 and with the Cardinals instead of the Marlins. That will generate some buzz.

That’s the idea going forward.

Anyone going to Pittsburgh for the Friday and Saturday games? I am looking for hard tickets, one from each game to add to my personal collection. If anyone can get one ticket from each game please let me know or private message me.

[ryanc576]

With Gorman and Liberatore both coming up together, Update and HHN just became huge releases for Cardinal collectors. Looking forward to both of those now.

I just like good players in general. In Edman's case he gets it done with defense, speed, and passable offense. I had him just about average with the bat coming into the year. Close enough that the speed puts him above average. Heck, his career OPS+ is now 104 with his hot start, up from 100 coming into the year.

Gorman’s debut is on Apple TV? Are kidding me? I have access to it, but still, that broadcast team is terrible. Their play-by-play person has no idea what they’re doing and can’t explain the action fast enough to keep up with the game. In general, the whole crew seems like they called up a friend on a cell phone with poor signal right before the game and asked, “What’s baseball?”

[bradical]

Caesars has him at +370 for a HR tonight. I think I might take some of that action.

Batting 1.000! MVP!
